Agree👇! A reminder of just how quickly institutions bend the knee & how eager many individuals/institutions are to enforce & enact clearly undemocratic & often blatantly racist edicts. This, combined with the apathy ("I'm ok") of the masses, is exactly how fascism and dictatorship take hold.

"On October 8, 1931, a law went into effect requiring every Italian university professor to sign an oath pledging their loyalty to the government of Benito Mussolini. Out of over 1,200 professors in the country, only 12 refused. All of them were immediately fired." www.chronicle.com/article/what...

Austerity kills. “For society’s sake, we need to reverse these cuts, not add more. We need to use the power within our communities – our collective voice – to demand that austerity policies are reversed.” @gerrymccartney1.bsky.social @deependgp.bsky.social www.chex.org.uk/latest/artic...
